Mount Victoria to Lithgow Great Western Highway upgrade
JULY 2012
Concept design and road boundaries Invitation to comment
A concept design and proposed road boundaries for the future upgrade of the Great Western Highway between Mount Victoria and Lithgow are on display for your comment until Friday 26 October 2012. Your input will help finalise the concept design and reserve new road boundaries for long-term improvements. Roads and Maritime Services has engaged with the local community starting with the route options development process in 2008. The concept design currently on display has taken account of the community views and feedback received throughout the engagement process.
In this issue: • Information about the NSW and Australian governments response to a 2012 independent review. • Information on new speed limits through the valley. • Information about projects to be constructed including the upgrade of Forty Bends and the enhanced road safety program. • Information and maps outlining the key features of the concept design and proposed road boundaries. • Information about what happens next, including details of upcoming community discussions about the concept design and places where you can view a copy of the concept report. • A reply paid feedback form. • Contact details for enquiries and comments.

Road boundaries for long term • Using remaining funds from the joint $250 million Australian and NSW government commitment to fund improvements upgrades between Mount Victoria and Katoomba. RMS has developed a concept design for the longer-term upgrade of the Great Western Highway between Mount Victoria and Lithgow. The purpose of this concept design is
to identify road boundaries that can be reserved for long-
term improvements. These boundaries will be provided to
the Blue Mountains City and Lithgow City councils as a key
input to future land use planning.
The proposed road boundaries include the road
formation, batters and retaining structures, drainage
structures, landscaping and space for maintenance activities.
The concept design for the road boundaries extends
between Soldiers Pinch, about 400 metres east of
Browntown Oval at Mount Victoria and Magpie Hollow
Road at South Bowenfels.
The concept design has been primarily developed within
the preferred route buffer zone displayed in May 2010.
In some areas it has been necessary to go beyond the
preferred route buffer zone. The reasons for this include
improved road alignment, extensions to the east of Review of Great Western Highway Upgrades West of Katoomba
Browntown Oval and west of McKanes Falls Road, INDEPENDENT REVIEW service road connections, upgraded side roads and
Date 19 January 2012 water quality measures.
The concept design integrates road safety, freight efficiency and local access improvements and includes environmental
design considerations. While the concept design varies
between two and four lanes, the road boundaries will be
set for four lanes along the entire length of the highway to allow for long-term improvements.

Proposal for a local service road • Eliminating about 90 per cent of right turns across A local service road has been designed between the highway traffic between Mount Victoria and South bottom of Victoria Pass and Jenolan Caves Road, Bowenfels and improving road shoulders.
